It's definitely not a dead language – a new Fortran front-end has recently been accepted into the LLVM project, joining Clang. So LLVM's only in-tree supported languages (excluding the various IRs) will be C, C++, Objective-C, and Fortran. It had been scheduled for merge into the LLVM monorepo 2 days ago, but has been delayed pending some additional architecture review.

If the website is already dead, is that a bad sign?

Google has this thing called “Testing on the Toilet” where they post factoids about Google’s codebase and best practices. I read one and it said FORTRAN is a highly secure language (or there haven’t been any security vulnerabilities found in the language in a while). Devil’s advocate for not writing FORTRAN off completely at first sight.

It's a feature.

Paradise! We had to wake up a half an hour before we went to bed to use FRTRN 0.1, with punch cards made from rolled-up, discarded newspapers!
